config.cpp - missing '}'???

[markinoz 1]

Hi,

Please excuse me if I've posted this in the wrong section (I'm using steam) but I have what appears to be a coding error?

ARMA OA and CO + BAF was running fine for ages.. around the time of the last "Steam" 1.6 update I started getting the following error after the boot screen

File gd\config.cpp, line 1443: /cfgWeapons/: missing '}'

I've deleted the local steam content and have redownload twice and get the same result (I have recently been installing mods CBA SLX etc) but these folders are not in the fresh install location.

Any help would be appreciated coz I love playing this game and I havent had much luck finding anything in the troubleshooting threads..

Cheers

Mark R

gd\config.cpp

Points to a non-BIS addon. Check again that no 3rd party addons are loaded at all.

Hi,

thanks for your prompt response.

I was thinking the same thing...

looking at the RPT theres lots of stuff like this:

Error updating 'bin\config.bin/CfgWeapons/G36_C_SD_eotech/Burst/' by 'ca\weapons_e\config.bin/cfgWeapons/G36_C_SD_eotech/Burst/', base 'Burst'

ErrorMessage: bin\config.bin/CfgWeapons/G36_C_SD_eotech/Burst/: Cannot find base class 'Burst'

=====================================================================

== h:\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\ArmA2OA.exe

== "h:\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\ArmA2OA.exe" -window

=====================================================================

Exe timestamp: 2012/03/07 12:25:10

Current time: 2012/03/08 17:20:24

Version 1.60.87580

ErrorMessage: File gd\config.cpp, line 1443: /cfgWeapons/: Missing '}'

looks like Im gonna have to dig around and try to find the culprit...

Cheers

Tried a repair in Steam? (after repair, you should run Steam launcher as admin, and then launch A2 (if you have), and OA , separately at least once)

Also if you want to get warned about custom addons in official addons folders, you could try Six Updater; http://www.six-updater.net/p/about.html

It warns you at startup and when performing actions, if (and which) any custom addons are found that are not inside modfolders but official addons folders.
